: have you an expression or phrase to describe a career that can only be held by the young people, because they are young, energetic and full of life or beauty, but when they grow old they will lose these advantages and the job will be no longer for them. Model can be taken as a very good example. What kind career is it? Can you give me an appropriate word to describe such careers or people undertaking these kind jobs? I know in China we'd say this sort of people are 'feeding on the youth' , what do you have? Thanx!!

Tough question. There's an expression: "That's a young man's game."
